Extracellular levels of soluble TIMP-3 are low, reflecting its binding by extracellular matrix (ECM) components including sulfated glycosaminoglycans (SGAGs) and endocytosis via low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1. Since TIMP-3 inhibits ECM degradation, the ability of SGAGs to elevate extracellular TIMP-3 is significant for osteoarthritis treatment. Previous studies of such interactions have utilized immobilized TIMP-3 or ligands. Here, we report the thermodynamics of the interactions of the sGAG-binding N-domain of TIMP-3 with chondroitin sulfate, pentosan polysulfate, and suramin in solution using isothermal titration calorimetry. All three interactions are driven by a favorable negative enthalpy change combined with an unfavorable decrease in entropy. The heat capacity changes (ΔC ) for all of the interactions are zero, indicating an insignificant contribution from hydrophobic interactions.
细胞外 TIMP-3 的水平较低,这反映了它与细胞外基质(ECM)成分的结合,包括硫酸化糖胺聚糖(SGAG)和通过低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白 1 的内吞作用。由于 TIMP-3 抑制 ECM 降解,因此 SGAG 升高细胞外 TIMP-3 的能力对骨关节炎的治疗具有重要意义。以前对这种相互作用的研究利用了固定化 TIMP-3 或配体。在这里,我们使用等温滴定量热法报告了 TIMP-3 的 sGAG 结合 N 结构域与硫酸软骨素、戊聚糖多硫酸酯和苏拉明在溶液中的相互作用的热力学。所有三种相互作用都是由有利的负焓变化和不利的熵降低驱动的。所有相互作用的热容变化(ΔC)均为零,表明疏水相互作用的贡献可以忽略不计。
